James Frank Lemon (1850-1936) was the son of John Lemon and Sarah Blueford. He was a part of a large family that included Rev. John C. Lemon. (Warning: There was another John and Sarah Lemon with a large family during the same period.) Frances Reed (1856-?), wife of James, was the daughter of Spencer and Mary Reed. She was also part of a large family that was listed in the Gloucester census beginning in 1870. In the 1880 Gloucester census, James Lemon and Frances Reed have a son, Franklin at age 6 years. This means his birth date was 1874. Either James Franklin Lemon was born prior to the 1886 date given previously, or James Franklin Lemon, Sr., had a previous marriage and another son named Franklin. Often the census, marriage, and death records are difficult to interpret, but the Lemon-Reed connections seems to be clear.
